The Urban Heroine collection is dedicated to modern women. Their feminine force and beauty is mirrored in this conceptual take on accessories for all terrains. The collection's subversive allure lies in the sovereignty of its playfulness. These pieces emphasise connections between artistic expression and craftmansship, style and utility, the proprietress and the product. Merging the divide between excellence and everyday, they are a sophisticated display of the union of opposites personified by women now.
